HURCO VSX24 VERTICAL MACHINING CENTER

Technical Description

This CNC machine features a robust work envelope with X-axis and Z-axis travels of 24 inches and a Y-axis travel of 20 inches, allowing versatile part machining across multiple dimensions. It operates with a powerful 12 HP spindle motor, delivering spindle speeds up to 10,000 RPM, capable of handling a wide range of milling applications. The spindle utilizes a CAT 40 taper, conforming to ANSI B5.50 standards, providing reliable tool retention and precision in tooling performance. The machine is equipped with a 24-tool automatic tool changer (ATC), which enhances operational efficiency by allowing seamless tool switching during machining cycles. The 30" x 20" worktable can support a maximum load of 1,540 lbs, accommodating heavy workpieces, while the total machine weight is approximately 9,000 lbs, ensuring structural stability. Chip evacuation is managed by an integrated chip auger system, which efficiently removes metal chips from the cutting area, paired with a washdown coolant system to maintain optimal cutting temperatures and reduce thermal distortion. Control is provided via the ULTIMAX SSM system, offering precise motion control and user-friendly operation. This combination of sizeable travel ranges, high spindle power, precise CAT 40 taper tooling, and effective chip and coolant management makes this machine well-suited for heavy-duty milling, complex part manufacturing, and diverse production environments.
